New MAG Items ~ January 2013

Heyy AG Lovers. With all the excitement surrounding Saige, I wanted to pause and take a look at some of the new MAG things!


I Love Pets Pajamas for Dolls

I find these very cute and since AG re-released Licorice it's a perfect fit for Coconut and Licorice. The leggings has a very cute heart, star, and other shapes, pattern on it. The slippers look so soft.

Fun & Games Table

This set confused me at first and didn't look "modern" to me or very "2013". But when I saw it in person at the American Girl Place it grew on me. The nachos do look better in person than in the pictures. The checkers set is very cute and like the Apples to Apples game in the Sleepover Accessories, you can play it and it has instructions. The table is low to the ground making it perfect for activities and you don't need chairs. Overall, I think it's cute but not necessarily one of the first things I'd buy for the $58 price tag.

Cozy Lounge Chair

When I first saw this chair I thought it was so cute! But the price is $48! I understand AG is expensive but that's a bit much even for them. I expected it to be about $30, but it's nearly fifty dollars. While I think it's so cute, I don't think I'll be getting it any time soon if ever, even though it's one of my favorites.

Softball Set for Dolls + Charm

I'm not a big fan of this set, but for girls who play softball I think it's wonderful. Since I'm not a very "sporty" person, AG's sport sets aren't very exciting to me, but I know lots of girls love sports. It's a cute outfit, I just personally don't like softball that much.

Skates & Gear

These are basically a copy of the old Skate Set, which I have and got earlier this year. The only difference, other than the new color scheme, is that it doesn't come with stickers. I liked the old ones that came with stickers as you could personalize it. For $34, this set could have come with stickers. I do like the new colors however and it's a great set to have, I really enjoy mine (retired version). But AG just took away the stickers and changed the colors, so I don't see a huge difference in the sets.

So those are the new MAG releases! I do enjoy all of them but don't see myself really getting them except maybe the pajamas. I won't be purchasing from AG until Spring since I just got Saige and some of her things.

What do you think of the new MAG things? Let me know int he comments below :)

McKenna's Furniture Compared to Saige's Furniture

There's been a lot of talk about Saige's lack of "furniture"on videos and blogs. I decided to put together this post comparing McKenna's large accessories and furniture with Saige's large accessories and furniture.

McKenna's Beam and Bar

Costed $85

McKenna's Loft Bed

Costed $224

Saige's Horse and Parade Saddle Set

Horse costs $94 and Saddle Set is $38

Saige's Hot Air Balloon Set

Costs $150

So now onto my opinions, McKenna's Beam and Bar set was extremely popular and I think it was a great accessory for her collection. Saige's Horse and her Parade Saddle Set, while we don't yet know how well it will sell, I think it will be a big hit for horse lovers and doll lovers alike. Both of these sets offer good play value and creativity in videos as well. Now onto their "big" piece, McKenna's Loft Bed does come with more accessories than Saige's Hot Air Balloon Set. It doubles as a bed, so that's great as well, but you can't really play with a bed except well, put her to bed. The additional accessories added more fun to it though. Saige's Hot Air Balloon comes with less accessories and has been criticized for not offering play value because it won't actually fly, however with a little imagination I think it's a great product. Dolls and toys aren't meant to necessarily automatically do what their supposed to, it requires creativity on the users end, so while I do think that her Hot Air Balloon could have come with more accessories to add to the play value, I don't see the problem with it not flying automatically. However, it's less than McKenna's Loft Bed was so maybe that's why there are less pieces included. But, if I could choose between one of them, I would pick McKenna's loft bed.

Theses are my opinions and I'd love to hear yours. Leave a comment letting me know what you think about McKenna's accessories compared to Saige's.

Opening Other Saige Outfits/Accessories (What I Got Pt. 2)

Heyy guys! This is the final part of my What I Got Videos/Posts. I also purchased some other Saige outfits and accessories (no furniture).
I got:
Saige's Dog
Saige's Sparkle Dress
Saige's PJ's
and Saige's Painting Set.

Here's the opening video:

Saige's Dog - He's so cute! This dog is super soft and unlike many of AG's pets which have a hard body covered by a layer of fur, his more like a sturdy stuffed animal, without the hard body frame.

Saige's Sparkle Dress - This dress is stunning! If you can see it in person, it looks a bit different than on the website. It's prettier! The gold boots are so cute and the necklace adds something to the outfit.

Saige's PJ's - I love these! There absolutely adorable and I think that adding in the two hair ties was helpful for doing pigtails in her hair to keep it neat. The slippers are so soft like all of AG's slippers I've seen. The other AG pajamas I have are the Coconut Pj's (last years winter pj's, still available) and the slippers in those are very soft as well, AG does a great job making soft slippers! :)

Saige's Painting Set - This set comes with lots of fun accessories and is great to set up. I'm looking forward to doing a photoshoot with this set :)  I'm pretty sure I'll be doing a review on this set since it comes with a lot of accessories and I'd like to show them up close. It's so much fun to use and set up with Saige and highly recommended. I paid for all of these items with my own money.

My 2013 Resolutions

Heyy AG-Lovers! Since I didn't get the chance to do this yesterday, here are my AG related resolutions!

1. Upload once (or more!) every two weeks. Sometimes I will upload more than this, like this week I've already uploaded 2 times and am uploading another now, but some weeks will be busier than others. I still want to get a video up at least every two weeks.

2. Post at least once every 4 days. I really want to start putting out posts on a steadier basis, so every four days will be my posting "schedule".

3. Focus on things for the dolls I have, not more dolls. Now that I got Saige, I don't really want any other dolls this year, so I want to just focus on clothing, etc. for them instead of the dolls themselves.

4. Create a better doll room. Right now, I uses some floor space and a few shelves in my closet. I would like to re-do my doll room and create a nice organized space with a section for Saige, Cécile and Marie-Grace, and my "modern" dolls: Zoe, Julie, Kit and Ruthie. I'm using Julie, Kit, and Ruthie as modern dolls now and may in the future make them more historical but I like dressing them in modern clothing. So, creating a organized yet fun doll room is definitely something I want to do this year!

Those are my New Year's Resolutions :) What resolutions do you have? I love hearing what you have to say :D
